Affiliate World Dubai 2026

What Affiliate World is

Affiliate World is the global performance-marketing conference circuit, with editions in Dubai, Europe, and Asia. The Dubai edition runs at the Dubai World Trade Centre and draws around 7,000 attendees. Unlike ICE, SBC, or iGB Affiliate — which are iGaming-first — Affiliate World spans every affiliate vertical: e-commerce, nutra, finance, dating, crypto, and iGaming side by side.

For an iGaming affiliate, the value is cross-pollination. The wider performance-marketing world tends to adopt tracking, attribution, creative-testing, and media-buying tooling ahead of the more conservative gaming industry. Affiliate World is where you see those tactics before they reach the iGaming-specific floors.

Who’s going to be there

• Performance marketers and media buyers across all verticals
• Affiliate networks (mainstream and iGaming)
• Tracking and attribution platforms
• Ad networks and traffic sources
• iGaming, finance, and crypto operators running affiliate programmes

How to get in

Paid, trade-only event. Tickets tier up as the date approaches, so early booking is the cheapest. The Dubai location also makes it a practical hub for affiliates working MENA, South Asian, and emerging GEOs.

VegasHunter’s coverage angle

We track Affiliate World for the tooling and tactics that cross over into iGaming — particularly traffic-source quality scoring, fraud prevention, and the creative-testing workflows that the broader performance industry refines before gaming adopts them.
